He could already feel the burning looks imbedding themselves through his clothing and into his skin. He shut his eyes and let his chest rise with a slow breath. Just breathe He mentally chided

His mind stilled and his body draped in relaxation. His eyelashes feathered along his cheeks before fluttering awake when he felt a small shoulder jab into his rib

His eyes flickered to you and his expression twisted into pain. “Guh..” He grunted, out of his daze and he finally noticed the rattling of the train again. His eyes took in your form, noticing you wobbling side to side because you couldn’t reach the ceiling hand rail

You seemed a bit frightened by his expression, as you quickly looked away. His eyes stared down at you in contemplation before a soft sigh exhaled from his lips
